I have never written a review about a business before, but I am fed up with a few Dermatologists at this business in particular, so I felt it to be appropriate!
I am not writing after going here just once.
I have been going to this practice for TWO, yes, TWO LONG WASTE OF TIME YEARS!
When I first went to Midlands Clinic, I saw Dr. Chabra. He was very eager to just get out of the room. Did not want to listen to me, just put me on a medication and told me I would be following up with the person that works along side him because he was "going to be on vacation" by the time my next appointment with him rolled around.
(Which I kind of thought was weird?)
..
That was the first and last time I would ever see him by the way. That was almost two years ago..
(Doesn't want to deal with his own patients, so he hands them off?)
He handed me off to Crystal Oberle.
Anyway...
I started taking the Doxycycline Dr. Chabra had prescribed me after just looking at my face for two seconds and barely talking to me. I went back in a month with no improvement what-so-ever. Not even a dent. I'm talking horrific, painful, nasty looking cystic BOILS on my face here.
When Crystal stepped into the picture it wasn't much different. Very eager to just get out of the room. I've waited longer in the waiting for her than actually sitting down and conversing with her. Very cold and just plain doesn't care what you have to say. She comes into the room and gives you this lame attempt of a "friendly" hand shake that is limp as a wet noodle.
(Strikes me as a "know-it-all" .. Dismisses everything you say.)
Long story short, I had no improvement with their methods.
Appointment after appointment, no improvement, but still the same bull crap. "Are you taking your pills?" YES "Not missing any doses?" NO "Are you using the lotions everyday?" YES "Hmm, I'll see you in a few months" OKAY
You would think after 6 months without improvement, you as a Dermatologist, would want to find something else that works for your patient..
(But that's just me..)
Doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result, is literally the definition of insanity!
I waited and waited for the doxy to hopefully work and it never did, but being on it for so long now, I'm literally scared to just stop taking it.
Fed up with the Doxycycline not working, I recently took matters into my own hands and (finally!) figured out what was causing my acne after 2 years of being on Doxycycline and it not working!
The next time I had went in to see Crystal, I had told her what I had been doing different, but she pretty much dismissed everything I said like I was a small child in elementary school. Even though she herself said my face was better, I had "no active lesions" on my face.
Well, duh! Because I finally figured out what was actually CAUSING THEM no thanks to you! Grr!
What in the heck was the point of seeing a dermatologist if I, myself, had to just figure out what my own problem was!?
What a waste of money and time!
I just kept going to her after the fact because I was honestly scared to stop taking the doxy since it had been in my system for so long.
Today, though, was my last straw.
I am tired of her not listening to me and just shoving pills down my throat and not HELPING me solve the actual ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!
I am determined to find a dermatologist that will actually sit down and help me get to the root of this problem and why it's happening in the first place instead of masking it with pills!
You can't put a freakin' bandaid over a gaping wound!
I Do NOT recommend Dr. Chabra or Crystal Oberle to ANYONE!
Maybe if SHE didn't work under him because he basically hands you off to her.
Maybe try someone ELSE at this clinic, just steer clear of those two.
You've been warned!
If you just want to be not listened to, handed off to someone else, pills shoved down your throat and not actually FIGURING OUT WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR ACNE, than be my guest, I would highly recommend Dr. Chabra and Crystal Oberle for that! read more
